Hi Gnomers,
I also sent this mail to gnome-i18n a few days ago without any replies and the xesam project[1] badly needs feedback from enlightened people.
Here's the case. We
need a way for describing our ontology and one of the runner up
candidates is a subset of the Turtle syntax[2]. The files describing
the ontology would then resemble:
START_FILE
@prefix DC: <http://freedesktop.org/standards/DC#>
@prefix xesam: <
http://freedesktop.org/standards/xesam#>
@prefix : <
http://freedesktop.org/standards/xesam_base#>
xesam:Audio.Composer
a :field;
:of_type :string;
:has_parent DC:Creator;
:name "Composer"@EN;
:name "Komponist"@DA;
:description "Audio composer".
xesam:Audio.Artist
a :field;
:of_type :string;
:has_parent DC:Creator;
:name "Artist"@EN;
:name "Kunstner"@DA;
:description "Performer featuring in the recording"@EN;
:description "Kunster der optræder på optagelsen"@DA.

END_FILE
As you can guess the translations are marked with @ after the strings.
My question is : Will this cause problems or be a major hassle? How will it fit into the current translation workflow?
Cheers,
Mikkel
PS: Please don't question the reasons for using Turtle, we already
went through weeks of flame wars over this :-) Just the opinions or comments from
an i18n point of view. Besides the choice is not final yet.
